I wouldn't say "sparked my addiction," but I picked up a couple of low grade (and have since lost the lower right corner on the former) T206s of Dots Miller and Bob Groom from a woman who appeared to be the original owner. This was at an antiques fair at South Hills Village in the late 1970s. The cost was $3.00 apiece.

Also, I picked up a 1933 Goudey #238 Hugh Critz. I have always loved the simplicity of the pose of the card. Later from the same dealer who had a store on West Liberty Avenue I picked up a 1934 Goudey of Lefty Grove for $20.00. I still have all of the cards.

The addiction didn't take off until 1989.
